I’m on a spring break trip with my daughter and some friends at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. This means all food and drink are included, and at every meal there are large buffets.
I’ve been on a health kick since mid-December, partly with this trip in mind. From my beach chair under a palm tree, I will share my strategy for staying on track, and how it’s going so far!
I lost about 13 pounds in the last 3 months, dropping from 141 pounds to 128. It’s an amazing feeling to get down to a weight I am happy with! I still have a few more I would like to shed, but now that I’m on vacation, I am focused on maintenance.
That’s me in the white shirt. Three months ago I wouldn’t have been comfortable wearing that shirt! I was all about covering up because my extra pounds were all collected around my mid-section.
So my strategy is to start each meal with fruits or vegetables, and then add some protein and a bit of carbs. About 3/4 of what is on my plate is wholesome and fresh. I leave the meal feeling satisfied but not stuffed!
